Today, Nobu is one step closer to adding hotelier to his famed resumé with the world’s first Nobu Hotel set to open at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas late 2012, with reservations for rooms officially on sale Oct. 1, 2012.

The groundbreaking pairing of two iconic brands (Nobu/Caesars Palace) will usher in a new era on the Las Vegas Strip. The past was defined by bigger, taller and more grandiose hotels while the new Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace will focus on intimacy, style, taste, culture and quality.
